# How do I choose between Shopify and WooCommerce?

**Shopify is easier, prettier, and faster to launch.**

WooCommerce gives you more customization and control —
 but you’ll need a developer at some point.

Both platforms can scale, both can sell well.
 **Your choice depends on whether you prefer simplicity (Shopify) or flexibility (WooCommerce).**
